:19:03
You are to take measures to assure this
remains a need-to-know classified fact.
:19:07
- Who is this?
- Mr Director, you have
a very serious problem.
:19:11
A battery of VX gas rockets
is presently deployed to deliver...
:19:14
a highly lethal strike on the population
of the San Francisco Bay area.
:19:18
I will call again at 0100 hours
to state my demands.
:19:20
- I wanna know who I'm talking to.
- This is Brigadier General...
:19:23
- Francis X. Hummel, United States
Marine Corps from Alcatraz... out.
- [Receiver Slams]
:19:28
I'll cancel
your reservations.
:19:31
Get the Pentagon and call
the San Francisco office.
:19:34
It seems Alcatraz
was just reopened.
:19:37
[Man]
Last night, Gen. Hummel using
brutal but nonlethal force...
:19:41
under the guise of
a security exercise, walked off
with 15 VX poison-gas rockets.
:19:46
He lost one of his own men
in the process.
:19:48
That's Gen. Hummel in Vietnam.
I think he was a major at the time.
:19:52
Three tours in Vietnam,
Panama, Grenada, Desert Storm; :
:19:56
three Purple Hearts, two Silver Stars
and the Congressional Medal of...
:20:00
Jesus. This man is a hero.
:20:03
Well, I think "legend" might be
a better description, Mr Sinclair.
:20:06
Well, now we can add kidnapping
and extortion to his list of accolades.
:20:09
Mr Sinclair,
Gen. Hummel is a man of honour.
:20:13
General, it's him.
:20:17
- Frank, it's Al Kramer.
- Hi, Al. How ya doin'?
:20:20
I don't know, Frank.
Why don't you tell me?
:20:23
There are a lot of very,
very worried people here, Frank.
:20:26
I'll come straight
to the point.
:20:28
Eighty-three Force
Reconnaissance Marines have died
under my various commands.
:20:31
Forty-seven in Northern Laos
and Southern China.
:20:33
Southern China? We never admitted
we sent troops into China.
:20:36
Who is this?
Identify yourself.
:20:39
White House Chief of Staff
Hayden Sinclair, General.
:20:41
How old are you,
Chief of Staff Sinclair?
:20:45
- I'm 33.
- Well, Mr Sinclair,
:20:47
you've probably got no fucking idea
what I'm talking about.
:20:50
By your ninth birthday
I was runnin' black ops into China,
:20:53
and my men were responsible
for over 200 enemy kills.
:20:56
Now put some rigging tape
over Mr Sinclair's mouth.
:20:58
- He's wasting my time.
- Ah, you want to continue, Frank?
